Supreme Court Decision.

SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-The Washington Supreme Court has rem dered decision in the case of Thos. Baldwin, in error, against U. S. Marshal J.C. Franks. Baldwin was arrested un- der warrant issued by the U. s. Com missioner, charging him with conspiracy to deprive the Chinese residents of Nicholaus, California, of the protection of the U. s. laws by forcing them to leave that town. Baldwin applied to the Cir cult Court for his discharge upon writ of habeas corpus, but was refused, and he appealed 10 the Supreme Court upon the ground that the charge made against him was not sufficient to justify his detention. Chief Justice Waite, of the U. s. Supreme Court, holds that the force used by Bald win was against the Chinese people and not against the government in its efforts to protect him, and his conspiracy was to i'll treat the Chinese and not to hinder

An Extra Session Probable.

NEW YORK, March 8.-The Tribune's Washington special says: People whose counsel is frequently sought for at the White House, state that the President, though anxious to avoid it if possible still contemplates an extra session of con gress early in the Autumn. The financial situation it is expected will then be such as to need prompt action on the part Of Congress. With regard to the surplus some action will not only be desireable but absolutely necessary. The fail ure of the river and harbor and deficiency bills becomes more serious as time pass es. There is well grounded fear enter tained at the White House, that the h. terstate Commerce, when put in opera ton will cause no end of trouble and litigation, and that its provissi sions will need to be radically and promptly amend ed by Congress,

Circuit Court Bill.

Special To The EPITAPH.
 PRESCOTT, March 8.-The Code Com mission, have laid before the House. through the judiciary committee, the cir cult court bill, and its champions are moving heaven and earth to secure its passage. But judging from the tone ol the members of the House, it will fail to secure majority. Your correspondent, heard an influential member remark to, day, "that when Arizona wanted new judges, they would enact law so as the people could make their own selection, and not place such power in the hands sf a fedral appointee," This seems to be the sentiment of the majority of the Hous-, and the chances are more than even that the bill will be tabled.

< The EpITAPH, in behalf of the grate- ful people of Cochise county, extends its sincere thanks to L. w. Blinn for his splendid services in defeating the county division scheme. It passed the House like whirlwind, and it looked as though it would work its slimy fins through the Conncil, but thanks to our faithful repre- sentative in that body it found its Water loo. The EpITAPH never yet questioned the integrity or honesty of purpose of Mir. Blinn. We have differed widely with the gentleman upon many public questions, but we always gave him cred it for doing what he considered right and just and his labors on the bill in ques. ton was commendable in the extreme.
 Had Cochise county had man of less ability in the Council the county division billwould in all probability have become a law, but every energy of cur councilman was directed in the interest of its defeat, and how admirably he succeeded will bs seen by our dispatches this morning.

The Council have sounded the death knell of the county division proposition, Now two years at least of prosperity are before us. When our eastern neighbors realize that the division of Cochise coun- ty can only result disastrous to all con. cerned, should they succeed in their am bi,ion and cut our county in twain moth, ing but dire consequences would ensue. The taxation, which now is almost alarmingly high, would soon reach an appalling figure, but on the other hand ifthe county is permitted to retain its present magnificent dimensions only a few years will elapse before we will be entirely free from debts of all descrip. fions.' We take pride in the magnitude of this splendid domain, and few more years will surely prove conclusively tha, itis for our common interest to keep oul boundary lines intact.

Notwithstanding the shafts of malic

Notwithstanding the shafts of malice hurled at the great Republican common. CT, Jas. C. Blaine, he invariably takes the right side on all public questions. His opinions on the silver question are as follows: "I believe the struggle now going on in this country, and in other countries, for a single gold.standard, would, if successful, produce widespread
 disaster in the end throughout the com mercial world. The destruction of silver as money, and establishing gold as the sole uni, of value, mus, have ruinous effect on all forms of property, except those investments which yield fixed return in money. These would be enor- moasly enhanced in value, and would gain disproportiona,e and unfair advan- vantage every other spec,es of property

oglesby OF n reporter, nj the congress OF
ancients, as those worthless gathered In
the usual hebdomadal session. "I'n tell
you about II. As piece of amateur mu-
nicipal justice IL took high rank In its day.
To begin nj the beginning have got 10
go back to Natchez. That place was, In
! It's day, the most beautiful upon the Mis-
sissippi river between New Orleans and
st. Louis. IL In on bluff 200 feet high,
called the North Chickasaw bluff. IL
was before the war the home Of wealth,
many rich planters living there. These
men owned large cotton plantations In
Mississippi, others had great sugar planta-
| lions In Louisiana. Up In the city the So
ciety was polished and arlstocratic. There
was little bottom next tho river, and
under the bluff narrow strip where
there was large business done In the
way OF merchandising OF various kinds,
commission and cotton shipping.
"Silver street, next the bluff, between
that and the water, was occupied by
whisky sellers, gambling houses, dance
houses and other bad resorts. This bluff
had been gradually settling for three or
four years. Every now and then there
would be- q landslide. In 1884 q great
slide made 1t necessary for the Silver
street occupants TO seek other hnunts.
Tho gamblers and the other disreputable
denizens went to Vicksburg which had
up to that time been rather an orderly
town and desirable place to live In. After
the arrival Of the gamblers Vicksburg be-
gan TO be notorious through its new pop
ulation. Many outrages were committed.
IL came to such pass that the good citi-
zens of Vicksburg held public meeting
TO correct the abuses. A committee, with
DR.. Bodley at the head, a prominent
gentleman, esteemed by every one, visited
the gambling houses and whisky shops.
Hand bills had been posted ordering the
gamblers to leave the town inside Of twen-
ty-four hours.
"When the committee appeared fight
took place, In which DIR. Bodley was
killed and two or three other citizens
badly wounded. This murder aroused
the most intense feeling and the highest
excitement. / do not think a mob was
ever organized in q shorter time. Five
gamblers who were most prominent In
the attack that resulted In murder were
taken up on the hill and all swung up
It was q great day for Judge Lynch.
When they were dead they were taken
down and thrown into graves ut the foot
Of the gallows, a quantity of their gam
bling implements being thrown into the
ditch and buried with them. The lynch
ers then took an old scow, and, putting
ten or a dozen more gamblers upon it who
were not directly connected with the muir
der, pushed it out into the Mississippi
without oar or pole Of any kind and set
them adrift. The remaining gamblers
left the town in great haste, glad to es-
cape with their lives, and for many n
long year thereafter Vicksburg was noted
as high grade moral town. "-Indianap-
